Trousers and Coats,
~. Y. Ereninn Sim


GLOW do keep my trousers from bagging at
the knees?" echoed an old man who had served
many years in the British Navy. "Why, that's
one of the simplest things in the world if man
only knows how and will put himself to a little
trouble at first. Jack Tars trousers, as you know
are very close reefed and built snug and taut all
the way down until near the bottom, where they
given full sail and spread themselves well over
the boots. They are the very kind that are apt
to bag at the knees, so of the first things the
young landlubber is taught when he enters the
navy is how to wear them. No doubt you have
often heard of the sailor taking a hitch in his
trousers every time he sits down, and no doubt
you thought he did it merely as a sort Of intro
duction to the yarn he was about to SPIN Yes,
few people would imagine that the hitch is what
keeps the trousers straight; but just think mo-
ment and you will recolect that they fit very
tight around the knee, and that whenever you sit
down and poke out your knees you stretch the
cloth. That's what makes the bagging. By TAX
ing few bitches in your trousers when you sit
down you leave plenty Of slack for the knees to
play in, and your clothes will wear out before
they bag. After taking the hitch a few times it
will become almost second nature to you, and you
will do 1t unconsciously every time you sit down.
The hitch may be simple, but it's worth more to
aman than one OF those patent ive-dollar trousers
stretchers. As for the coat, not one in dozen
knows how to button it so it that it will set we'll
The proper way is to begin at the bottom button
and 60 up. Not day passes but have to laugh
at people who say they are going to button their
coats up, and then calmly proceed to button them
down

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-This arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent, Mr..
Chas. P. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street,
new number). 1t has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
monal as to the general excellence of the article
is the fact that it has never failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty of finish show for
themselves, and any person of experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value
These paints-all colors, which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for use, which is great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
matter of handling as well as of applying them.
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr..
Knight, the sole agent in Baltimore handles i'm
mense quantities of it, showing that it is not new
to the public, but is really stable article, the
demand for it increasing with each year. Many
of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
covered with this paint, and where properly ap-
piled it has failed to give entire satisfac-
ton. The residence Of H. G. Longnecker, in
Towsontown, has lately had two coats of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence of the finish speak for
themselves. Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
themselves that everything we have said about
the Enamel Paint is facts. We have no hesita-
ton in recommending it.

THE MARYLAND INsTITUTE-THE FINE OLD
BUILDING IN BRAN NEW DREss.-Persons who
have passed by the Maryland Institute lately
have been struck by the transformation in the
appearance of the building produced by the re-
painting of the entire structure in attractive and
tasteful colors. One of the officials of the Insti-
tute stated to NeWs reporter that the renovation
of the building was accomplished by means of
the appropriation recently made by the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore. The work was
done under the personal supervision and drec-
ton of Mr.. Theodore Oster, inspector of building,
and only the very best material was used. The
paint used was that manufactured by the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company, the excellence of
which has become known to the public through
the fact that has been also used upon the Amer
lean and San buildings, Ford's Grand Opera
House, the Carrollton Hotel and many other con-
spicuous structures. Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several Of
the directors to use this paint when the appro-
priation was made. He was at first disinclined
to acquiesce in the suggestion, owing to the fact
tIdO Hc ulu HUI Uclctc III Tcduy
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
experienced the worthlessness of many articles
put upon the market under the name of ready
mixed paints, some of which were limitations of
the article suggested by the Institute officials,
and none of which were satisfactory to gentle
man so thoroughly capable of judging the excel
lence of a paint as Mr.. Oster. When, however,
his attention had been called to the buildings
mentioned above, and he had seen practical
demonstration of the qualities of this paint, he
consented, with his usual courtesy, to the wish
Of those who had urged him to use the article,
and the result has more than equalled the antici-
pations Of those who had urged the use of this
paint
Mr.. G. P. Knight, No. I'll E. Lombard street,
new number). who is the general agent here,
stated to Meas reporter that he had been sell
ing the paint since 1871, and that in not single
instance had it failed to give satfaction to his
customers. He also stated that sample cards
showing the different colors were furnished
gratis on application to him by mail or in person.
The numerous large buildings upon which the
paint has been used are an ample guarantee OF
its exceptional merit, and it will pay anyone who
proposes to do any painting to consult Mr.. Knight
before having the work done.

With its buzzing and its nipping,
With its biting and skipping,
Prevents his morning mapping,
Wears him out with constant slapping;

Bundle Bees and Clover Seed.

11ttTtCttottT
An Indiana farmer, who told his boys to burn
every humble bees nest they found on the farm,
and who was complaining at the failure of his
clover seed crop, was surprised when Maurice
Thompson, the naturalist, said "That is why
your clover seed fails you. Bumble bees make
your clover seed" 1t is a fact that strong nest
of humble bees in clover field is worth $40 to
the owner; for these insects the chief agents
in fertilizing the blossoms, thereby insuring a
heavy..cr of seed. In Australia there are no
humble bees of our kind and they could not raise
clover seed there until they imported some.

sorbing that American public men
are much oftener poor than wealthy
Not many have thegift ofmoney max.
ing, and the calls upon their means
are great. The Washington CORE
spondent OF the New York Herald
says:
Stanton, the great war secretary
who might easily have accumulated
millions in his place, spent part OF his
moderate private accumulations dur.
ing the high.priced war times, and left
his family with very small means. Mr..
Lincoln once, in the last year OF his
presidency, told n personal friend with
great satisfaction that he had always
been careful with his money, and be
lleved he should be worth as much as
$4,000 at the close OF his term. He
thought that e very handsome sum
of money.
Chief Justice Taney's family was
left poor. There is employed in the
treasury department a lady who from
the widow near her desk looks out on
the White House grounds. in which
she played as a child-the favoritt
erandchild OF a president. She was
born in the White House and is now a

say: "The habit OF neatness or it's

women. The characteristic natural

are such as do not bring out this phase
in such pronounced fashion. Idon't
